We have decided that we will no longer be specifically looking at the aerodymnaics of cycling using a wind tunnel.
- use the Tour de France as a video to show visitors what they are cycling on
- design a program that shows where along the Tour de France the visitors are
- have to bikes to make it seem more like a race
- let the visitors choose what section of the race they would like to cycle on
- still use the wind tunnel idea to make the experince more realistic

- have the bikes capture distance, average speed, heart rate and calories burned
- compare the statistics of the visitors with a professional cyclist

- contact the company that makes the Canadian bikes that are used in the Tour de France
- contact one of the participants of the Tour de France

- look at the diets of cycling
- compare meal plans
- convert the number of calories burned into a food to give it more meaning to the visitors

- energy use and conversion

Tasks:
Trinette, Kelsey and Solomon: contact the companies and cyclists
Kelsey: research the different bikes
Neeti: research the winners of the Tour de France and what bikes they have been riding
